The
UKBlues Federation
is delighted to reveal the fifth contestant who will be taking
part in the 5th
UKBlues Challenge at Worthing’s Southern Pier on Saturday 8th
September 2018.
Carl North & The
Lonely Hearts
Chosen by the
Jessica Foxley
Unsigned Project
from the bands who played at the acclaimed
Great Rhythm & Blues
Festival
in Colne over the past weekend,
Carl North & the Lonely Hearts
formed in 2016 since when they have been busy generating their
own kind of buzz within Manchester's live circuit.
In their first year alone, multi-instrumentalist North fronted
The Lonely Hearts alongside a number of traditional giants,
including Andrew Combs, Gill Landry, Matt Andersen & C.W.
Stoneking. In 2017, following a successful summer of festival
appearances which included playing at Glastonbury, the end of
the year saw the five-piece release their debut single 'Worst Of
You', accompanied by a smash sell-out inaugural headline
performance. Plans to perform nationwide are on the horizon with
tour and festival dates to be announced. |
